Chapter 577: Attack on Defense
Precise ball control, control the ball with ease.
Ball speed, ball power, tail energy, angle.
There are no shortcomings in either aspect of the pitch.
Kawakami successfully won the first two hitters in the fourth game with a pitch that was far more stable than Akira Tani, and at the beginning of the opening set, he completely suppressed the offensive momentum of the third-grade team.
"Good shot, Kawakami."
"That's the rhythm, Xianshi."
"Use your pitching to suppress the seniors, Kawakami."
"Cast beautifully, Kawakami."
"Oh, Kawakami-senpai."
"I'll leave it to you here, Kenshi."
The wonderful pitching not only suppressed the opponent's attack, but also greatly boosted the morale of the opponent.
"Second baseman, second baseman, Kominato-kun"
Well, it's a good pitching rhythm, no matter which ball is precisely controlled on the edge, it's really a little tricky.
Ryosuke Kominato smiled and strolled with light steps into the strike zone.
The slight narrowing of his gaze fell on Kawakami not far away.
It all made Kawakami's heart tense.
To be reasonable, Ryosuke's senior's striking ability in the third grade is not very strong, and the weakness of his natural physique limits his strength.
However, if it is difficult to deal with.
Ryosuke Senpai is definitely the trickiest one.
Ryosuke, who couldn't give full play to his strength, worked his skills and honed his striking skills to the limit.
You can keep up with almost any ball type.
On top of that, Ryosuke is very good at picking pitchers, and catchers are in uncomfortable positions.
Don't assume that only pitchers are going to throw the ball that makes the hitter uncomfortable.
Under the same conditions.
The batter can also knock out the blow that makes the pitcher uncomfortable.
Ryosuke Kominato is undoubtedly such a beater.
“playball!!”
And as teammates for about two years, Yuyuki and Kawakami naturally know very well, and they know the doorways and tricks.
Since Kawakami doesn't have the power to suppress Ryosuke.
Then the only option is to choose a fast-paced pitch to disrupt Ryosuke Kominato's offensive rhythm.
It was also at the moment when Inspector Kataoka gave an order.
Miyuki's mind flashed in an instant how to deal with Ryosuke's predecessor's ball-matching ideas, and the next second, his fingers moved slightly, and he quickly drew a code.
"Huh"
Kawakami, who completely trusts Miyuki with balls.
Almost at the moment when the Miyuki code was sent.
Pitcher mound.
Kawakami stepped out quickly, the electric light beating at his fingertips.
In the moment of flickering.
Move your right arm sideways.
A bright light sped out here.
Flashed in the direction of the strike zone.
That glimmer of brilliance.
Ryosuke senior in the strike zone did not move at all.
As far as the eye can see, at the moment when you want to swing the bat.
Ryosuke's senior stared.
The sharp shadow of the ball burst into the home plate in an instant.
Ryosuke's predecessors were unmoved.
"Smack"
Seeing this ball sink into the ball sleeve of Miyuki behind him.
"Bad balls."
Sure enough, with such a ball way, you still can't deceive Ryosuke-san.
Looking at Ryosuke's senior, who didn't have the slightest breath of wielding a stick.
At home base, Miyuki's eyebrows raised slightly, and he couldn't help but think of it in his heart.
"So, then, a little bit inward, but a little bit lower, you can do this kind of ball, right? Constitutional history? ”
"Hmm!"
Only possession of the ball, this is a point of Kawakami's complacency.
Only with ball control, Kawakami Senpai has confidence, and he will not lose to anyone.
At home base, Miyuki drew a secret moment.
Kawakami nodded without hesitation.
If he is still hesitant here and has no self-confidence, then he Kawakami Kenshi is not qualified to stand on this pitcher hill, and he is not qualified to compete with those two for this position.
"Huh"
With self-belief.
It comes from a deep sense of self-confidence.
Arm under the vigorous dance.
A bright light appeared.
The aurora that was speeding quickly flew in the direction of the strike zone.
Very delicate position!!
However, it is a little bit more inward than the previous goal.
It was also at the moment when the ball flew in.
Ryosuke in the striking zone quickly judged the trajectory of the incoming ball.
Within the sight of Ryosuke Senpai.
This ball is still a little delicate, but the probability of getting into the good ball belt is very high.
A must swing the bat.
"Boom!"
Less than a second of thought.
Ryosuke's predecessor quickly came to a judgment.
The decisive action of pulling away the position, the rapid steps, and the dancing metal bat, roared in the sky, and made the sound of "Peng Peng".
A sharp brilliance looms near home plate.
"Pong !!"
The bat and the ball collided violently.
That dull sound rang out for a moment.
Ryosuke's senior face changed.
It's a bit lower than expected!!
Not good, calculated!!
"Huh"
A glimpse after the roar.
The ball that flew upside down from home plate.
It didn't rise to the sky at all, but slammed it in the direction of the surface.
"Bang"
A dull thud rang out at the same time.
"First Base !!"
Miyuki immediately shouted in the direction of first base.
Synchronize to the front garden to move to intercept the ball.
Kawakami on the pitcher's mound also quickly ran to the first base to fill in the position.
"Whoosh"
"Smack"
The ball that was intercepted by the front garden was thrown with a backhand.
was steadily caught by Kawakami's seniors who came to fill the position.
Ryosuke's seniors, who will enter less than half of the base, had to stop helplessly.
"Out"
"Three outs, offense and defense exchange !!"
It's really defeated, such a ball path can be controlled, the outside corner is down, and there is a bit of a bad ball on the edge.
I was completely deceived.
Ryosuke's senior face was unrevealed.
But in my heart, I still feel quite emotional.
"You've grown up to be good enough, Kawakami."
Looking at Kawakami, who walked off the field with a humble smile.
Ryosuke's senior eyes flashed, revealing a chuckle, and he also returned to his bench.
"Oh oh oh oh, great ball control, almost no deviations."
"The third-grade team was originally going to catch Miyuki and Kawakami's eagerness to win, but they were used by Miyuki."
"This kind of matching, only Kawakami can do it, Sawamura-kun can't do it."
"That's why I said, this is Kawakami's unique pitching style."
"In terms of deterrence, it may not be as good as the valley, but in terms of comprehensive strength, the current Kawakami is not inferior to the valley."
"In terms of stability and reliability, I think Kawakami is even better."
"Yes, yes, experience, personality, personal characteristics, relative to these, the valley is still not as good as Kawakami."
"Uh-huh!!"
In the first half of the fourth game, Kenshi Kawakami's outstanding performance also conquered the audience around him.
They naturally saw that the future of Shimiya was bound to be brighter than that of Kawakami.
But purely in terms of the current strength comparison.
They also have to admit that Kawakami is indeed more reliable than the valley.
